Years passed away, and ourgentle Amy
rose frotn ; . the'little child to the quiet,
thoughtful maiden. Her mother's fears
had proved but too prophetic of tho future.
Her deformity, had grown with her growth,
and strengthened' with her strength. , But
it was evident:to any,who looked upon her
placid face, that the spirit shared not the
imperfections ef its shrine—that the fra
gile, ungraceful form was no ipdex of the
mind of its possessor. Amy's face was ,
not beautiful---a 'stranger might,havacall
ed it even comely: and yet there, was a,
charm about it that ellen detained tho,oye
of the stranger. .There was,when in re
pose,•a . peacefulness of expression that
told of a spirit at rest,; and when lighted
up by pleasurable, excitement, the sadden
' flash of the'dark eyes and the. flush onitie
usually pallid cheek made it seem almost
beliiniful. . Her voice in conversation was
low and musical; and her songs were like ,
the mild bird's melody, gushing forth, in
gladness of grief, unbidden; and almost
unconsciously from ,hor heart. Led by
her extreme sensitiveness to seclude her
self almost entirely from society, she had
naturally sought in books companions for 'I
1 her solitude. She had read much and
thought deeply. Communion : with the
gilled fledol%and
mind,aw
akeannedd
the
e e l bo ate ok nt N p va o s we s r o s m o e f . ,
times laid aside for the peu. 'limidly,and
almost when the feeling of one who had
committed an offence, her • first brief at
tempts to clothe her thoughts in words was
laid before her mother. • That mother ap
proved and encouraged her; and, cheer
ed by hot approval, Amy continued to
note down, from time to time, the thoughts
that peopled her heart in its hours of lone-.
liness. Many who saw those 'records af
ter the hand that traced them had passed
away from the earth, wondered at the
genius that had dwelt, unnoticediand un
known, in a tenement so unworthy of its
inmate. And so time glided on ; and
Amy, happy in.her mother's love, happy
in her literary pursuits, happy in her own
little circle of chosen friends,' scarcely
heeded its flight. But there came a change;
a rainbow followed by a storm.
" Mother, dear mother, I am so happy !"
And Amy laid her head as she wasiwont
to do when a little child upon her mother's
bosom, and softly whispered the , cause or
het happiness. The light of loved had
dawned, like the morning of a new exist
\
ence upon her heart. She loved, and she
knew that she was beloved in return, by
one whom the most gifted and tll most
beautiful might have been proud to claim
as a friend. " How could he love mc,
mother ? " said Amy ; and her eyes filled
with tears as she spoke.
Amy 'was not the only one who won
dered ihat, CharleS Malcom, the 'wealthy,
the `talented, the noble
. bearted,'• should
seek as his bride one not only beneath'
him in station, but far very far frOtin'ads
sessing these external advantages, which'
the world prizes so highly. Happy Amy !
her dark eyeagrew more brilliant, and her
pale cheek 'assumed a hue almost like'that
of health:---a light , and rose-hue har
rowed from• the still,' deep glndriess of the
heart. 'A Mother;' dear Mother, lam 'go
happy," Was uttered more than once dur
ing the few, months "of that blissful drama.
Poor Arry ! A sad awakening came soon.
.
Charles• • MaleOm 'had
_parents—.preud
and wealthy parents. He had brothers'
sisters too who heard of his choice, nt
first with incredulity, and afterwards' with
-undisguised contempt and anger,; and Mny
learned' from others, what she never would
have leained 'ft:Om him, that duty to his,
parents or love , to her must be sacrificed.
W hen they met again, she requested'him
to confirm or refute the statement she had .
heard. Slowly and reluctantly he - gave
the dreaded confirmation, adding an earn
est requeSt; that she would not suffer Iter=
selft to be in, the least influenced by it.—
Her reply, was calm; but decided. "We
must not meetagain, Charles," she Said ;
" 1 know. that I LIM not worthy to be your
wife.' It is strange that J. should have
dreamedof it, even for a • moment. 'rho'
drehien i has , been a 'happy one ; but it is
over:now., We must part." His earnest
appeals Made in vnin. "if you could
80 far forget your duty, to' 'your parents,"
she said, " as to act in direet•oppoSition to
their wishes in this matter—l could not
enter a family in which I should' not meet

ed the dying.girl. as she ,raised . her head

on the richly tinted : west. Slowly op the

She lay in silence for a few minutes ; then,

" Mother, dear mother." Her mother dent
over her. There was a sweet smile on
her pale lips, as she whispered, " Mother,
dear. mother, I shall. not .• be deformed in

A moment more, and the pare spirit was

BEYOLUTIONARY 'REMINISCENCE.
The following address to Gon. St. Clair's
Brigtide:atTiconderoga, when the enemy
was hourly expected, October 20, 1776,
was delivered by the Rev. David Jones,an
eminent 'Baptist clergy Man, who was
•Wayne's chaplain, and . with him at the
time of the massacre. lie was then past
eighty years'of ago. We take it from the
Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution :
"illy Countrythett, Fellow-citizens and
Friends . :—";l am sorry tkat during 'this'
Carnpaign I haVe been favored.with so few
opportunities of addreSsing you on subjects
of the greatest importance both tvith res
pect te. this life and that which is to come ;
but 'What, iipaSt Cannot be recalled . and'
now tirrie . wlll eof,.tidmit aiCenlargennent;
and, we'litiVe' the' greatest reason to expect
an advanedinent deer enemies 'as . speedi- .
ly :::s heaven will perniit (The' Wind blew'
'to'tlie north, : strongly.) • .TlierefOre at
present, let it sefrre to 'bring to your re
membrance some necessary truth's.
' "It, is our .contnion faith, end a very
just one too,' that all events on earth and
under the notice 'of that 'God in whom 'we
live, move, and, lihve our bein'g ; therefore,
'we must . believe that, in, this' important
straggle with the iiiiirst of enemies, he has
: assigned us our -post here at Ticonderoga.
' Our situation is such that if properly' de , l
,
I fended, we shall give our enemies a-fatal
I blow, 'and in 'a
. great Measure prove the:
means of the salva ion of North America,
"Such is' our:_preseriteaSe, that • We are,
fighting for-rill that iSaear and dStii - tb us
while our enemies tire' engaged in -the
: worst Of causes,' their (ledge being to sub
: jugate; plunder, 'and enslave a free people
that have dotie 'no harm. ' Their tyranical
Views are soglaring, their'cause so horri
bly bad that there still remain too much
goodness and humanity in Great Britain
to engage unanimously against' us,there
ford they have been'obliged (tied at a most
amazing expenSe,:,too)'- to' hire 'the . assi'st 7
eke' of a barbarous,. mercenary - people,
that , would cut your throat for the small
reward• or it siirpeace. No doubt these - ,
haVe hopes of being our taskLmastets; and
would rejoice at odrcalarrlities: • .', • •
"Look, oh! look, therefore, at your
especlive States, and anticipate the conse
quence if these vassals are suffered'to•en -:
ter'! It would fail the. most fruitful ima
gination to represent; in a 'proper light
what anguish; what horror, what distress
would spread over the' whole ! Sec, oh!
see the dear wives:dye:lr. bosoms forced
from their peaceful
,halaitationa, and per
haps used with 'suCh indecency that mod
esty would forbid the description. Behold
the fair virgins' of your land, whose be
nevolent sotils are now filled with a:thou
sand good wishes and hopes of seeing-their
admirers return home crowned with vieto
ry, would not only meet with .a doleful
disappointment; but also with. such insults
and abuses that would.indace their tender
hearts' to .pray for the shades of death,—
See your children' exposed as . vagabonds
to all 'the caiamitiesOf this , WO.. ' Then,
oh ! then udiewto all felicity this side the
gravel . • ....,
' " New all these calamities may hi:pre
vented if our God be for us—and who' an
doubt of this who observes• the point in
which ~ the - wind now blows--. 4( you will
only' acquit yourselves like rocn,.and 'with
firmness of mind go. forth: againacyour en•
emies, resolving either. to return with vic
tory. or to die gloriously.: Everyone that
may fall in 'this dispute will be justly,eii
teemed a martyr to liberty; and his' name
-will be held in precious memory while the
iove of freedom remains in the breast of,
men. All whonn•God will' favor to see 42-:
glorious viatery, will, return) to their res
pective'States, with every mark-of honor,',
and be received with toy and gladness :Of
heart by. all friends to liberty and lovers
of mankind. ' ~ . . ' ~
"As our present case is singular, I hope
-therefore, that, all the candid will excuse
me, if I now conclude with.an uncommon
address, in substance principally extracted
from the writings of the servants of God in
the Old Tedtament; though at the same
time, it is freely' acknowledged that I am
